[QUOTE="thevic24, post: 8182495, member: 575973"] From the product page... [B]Beefed up Power[/B] The PDX power supply delivers tremendous headroom with low distortion and noise. PDX amplifiers have an extremely high total system efficiency of ~80% (power supply is rated at >90%, output stage is rated >90%). [B]Low Impedance Stability[/B] These amps are stable at low impedances and are capable of their rated power from 2 to 4 ohms for all models. This allows excellent flexibility with multiple speaker and subwoofer loads and is adjusted automatically. Now where on that page dose it say or claim to be 2 ohm stable bridged..... Will Alpine warranty the amp if someone kills it running 2 ohms bridged? Lots of amps can be run below their rated load....dose not mean that they are meant to thou.... (I used to run my old PPI art 600a2 @ 2 ohms bridged...did it all day...got HOT but no issues but was not rated for it and would not have been repaired under warranty)[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif[/IMG] Then again.....as far as subs go....after box rise, in most cases, the load the amp sees is sometimes higher. If Alpine will not warranty the amp being driven at 2 ohms bridged, then its not rated for it. It all comes down to how hard you want to be on your gear.... [/QUOTE]
